Ash Wednesday

Today I am trying a bread and water fast.  I thought this would be fairly easy...much easier than a no food at all fast....but I am reminded of how spoiled I am.  Even with yummy bread -  two varieties, no less...I am hungry and find myself thinking about food a lot!  I even wondered if there is a local bakery with breads...lol!   I am so thankful for the great food I have, and hopeful about helping others who have little or no food.
 I hope that this day is going well for all of you.  I am so happy to be in community with all of you.


Hebrews 12

 1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

Love you guys and gals!
